MAGA influencer Candace Owens insisted that murdered activist Charlie Kirk had been "betrayed" by leadership at Turning Point USA, the organization he founded.

"I received information last night that put the final pieces together for me," Owens wrote on Tuesday. "I now can say with full confidence that I believe Charlie Kirk was betrayed by the leadership of Turning Point USA and some of the very people who eulogized him on stage."

Members of President Donald Trump's cabinet laughed as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made a joke about military strikes that kill alleged drug smugglers without a trial.

During a White House Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Hegseth bragged about "going after narco terrorists and designated terrorist organizations in our own hemisphere."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's chances of becoming the first member to leave President Donald Trump's cabinet have doubled in recent days, according to a new analysis by CNN's Harry Enten.

The Pentagon chief has become embroiled in another scandal after sources told the Washington Post he directed Adm. Frank Bradley to leave no survivors in a missile attack on an alleged drug smuggling boat, and Enten dug into new polling on public attitudes toward Hegseth on "CNN News Central."

President Donald Trump raged over the word “affordability” on Tuesday during a cabinet meeting at the White House, insisting that the word “doesn’t mean anything to anybody” and that it was a “Democrat scam.”

“The word 'affordability' is a Democrat scam!” Trump proclaimed. “They say it and then they go into the next subject, and everyone thinks 'oh, they have lower prices' – no, they had the worst inflation in the history of our country!”

News that big box wholesaler Costco is taking Donald Trump’s administration to court over his tariff war — while demanding a refund — landed with a thud with the president’s most ardent defenders.

With the Pentagon mired in a major crisis amid accusations that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth committed a war crime, the Washington Post’s David Ignatius reported there is one missing voice in all the hubbub.

A Republican strategist expressed surprise about President Donald Trump's relative lack of involvement in a key congressional race.

Republican Matt Van Epps is facing a surprisingly strong challenge from Democratic state Rep. Aftyn Behn in Tennessee's seventh congressional district, which is holding a special election Tuesday.

President Donald Trump has been slapped with a $310 million lawsuit alleging that the president engaged in a “trafficking venture” that was “identical in every material respect” to the sex-trafficking operation allegedly spearheaded by Jeffrey Epstein.

Filed on Nov. 24 in Palm Beach County, the lawsuit names Trump in both his individual and official capacity as president, alongside Tesla founder and Trump ally Elon Musk and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, both of whom have spent time inside Epstein’s home, according to reports and, in Musk’s case, his own admission.

The conservative National Review is urging Donald Trump to pump the brakes on a possible invasion of Venezuela.

In an opinion piece from the editors published Tuesday, they wrote that they agree that the regime of Nicolás Maduro needs to be ended — but it has to be done the right way and with the support of American voters and Congress.
